Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, in thy strength the king
shall very joyful be:
and in thy saving help rejoice
how fervently shall he!
2 Thou hast bestowed upon him
all that his heart would have;
and thou from him didst not withhold
whate'er his lips did crave.
3 For thou with blessings dost him meet
of goodness manifold,
and thou hast set upon his head
a crown of purest gold.
4 When he desired life of thee,
thou life to him didst give;
even such length of days, that he
for evermore should live.
5 In that salvation wrought by thee
his glory is made great;
honour and comely majesty
thou hast upon him set.
6 Because that thou for evermore
most blessed hast him made;
and thou hast with thy countenance
made him exceeding glad.
7 Because the king upon the Lord
his confidence doth lay;
and through the grace of the Most High
shall not be moved away.
8 Thine hand shall all those men find out
that enemies are to thee;
even thy right hand shall find out those
of thee that haters be.
9 Like fiery oven thou shalt them make,
when kindled is thine ire;
the Lord in wrath shall swallow them,
devour them shall the fire.
10 Their fruit from earth thou shalt destroy,
their seed men from among:
11 for they beyond their might 'gainst thee
did mischief plot and wrong.
12 Thou therefore shalt make them turn back,
when thou thy shafts shalt place
upon thy strings, made ready all
to fly against their face.
13 In thy almighty strength, O Lord,
do thou exalted be:
so shall we sing with joyful hearts,
thy power praise shall we. Scripture: Psalm 21 Used With Tune: ARNOLD
